Genesis 38:13-18
13And it was toldH5046 TamarH8559, sayingH559, BeholdH2009, thy father in law goeth upH5927 to TimnahH8553 to shearH1494 his sheepH6629.
14And sheH1931 putH5414 offH5921 from herH5921 the garmentsH899 of herH5921 widowhoodH491, and coveredH3680 herselfH1931 with herH5921 veilH6809, and wrappedH5968 herselfH1931, and satH3427 in the gateH6607 of Enaim, whichH834 is by the wayH1870 to TimnahH8553; for sheH1931 sawH7200 that ShelahH7956 was grownH1431 upH7200, and sheH1931 was notH3808 givenH5414 unto him to wifeH802.
15When JudahH3063 sawH7200 herH7200, he thoughtH2803 herH7200 to be an harlotH2181; for sheH3588 had coveredH3680 herH7200 faceH6440.
16And he turnedH5186 unto herH413 by the wayH1870, and saidH559, GoH935 to, I prayH4994 thee, letH4994 meH413 comeH935 in unto thee: for he knewH3045 notH3808 that sheH1931 was his daughter in law. And sheH1931 saidH559, WhatH4100 wilt thou giveH5414 meH413, that thou mayest comeH935 in unto meH413?
17And he saidH559, I will sendH7971 thee a kid of the goatsH5795 from the flockH6629. And sheH518 saidH559, Wilt thou giveH5414 meH5414 a pledgeH6162, tillH5704 thou sendH7971 it?
18And he saidH559, WhatH4100 pledgeH6162 shall I giveH5414 thee? And sheH834 saidH559, Thy signetH2368 and thy cordH6616, and thy staffH4294 that is in thine handH3027. And he gaveH5414 them to herH413, and cameH935 in unto herH413, and sheH834 conceivedH2029 by him.
